Date Field

[Linda]

I used to have Microsoft Access 97 and now have the
current one. The follow-up date field displays a 4 digit
year but it won't let you go to the next record unless
you make it 2 digits. When you go back to the record, it
appears as a 4 digits again. It's a hassle changing the
year field each time. Please help.

Hi Linda,

Possibly the field is formatted to display a 4-digit year but has an
input mask that specifies a 2-digit one.
